Miz has been GOLD. Nikki brings nothing to the table.
Way to show how important the IC belt is...
I'd rather have the CW or SD Women's match on the main card than Corbin/Ambrose

I wonder if the, "Cena tells creative what HE is going to do" crowd credits Cena for "allowing" this Miz angle to go as it has been going.

– During a recent edition of his podcast (transcript via wrestlezone.com), here are the highlights…
On Sheamus Working Stiff in the Ring: A lot of guys always say that Sheamus is always rough. I have been in the ring with him many times—done a lot of live events together and he is totally fine. Again, I was always taught by Bill DeMott to hit hard in the same places, especially if you are a bigger guy. I know that Miz used to get s*it because he used to throw a lot of light things that did not look good and he got ripped apart early on in his career because he had to tighten up some of his stuff and work a little more aggressive, but I Sheamus—we’ve had our differences on a few things before in the past on little things, but never in the ring. He has always been a pleasure. He’s an aggressive Irishman. Vince will tell him to work aggressively because he’s always been that way so in all fairness, again, hit hard in the same places. Accidents happen from time to time, but he never struck me as a guy, but then again, I am the type of guy if someone hits me I’m not going to take offense to it.
On the Bench Pressing Competition Against Mark Henry & John Cena *****ing About Working With Mark Henry: The 225 bench presses are used as a measuring stick at the combine of guys coming out of college into the NFL. 225 is considered, I would imagine in the NFL, it’s probably considered a good amount of weight because a lot of guys are at that body weight. On average it’s kind of like a number that is well received. So, they like to take that weight and see how many times you can bench press it before you can’t bench press it anymore. I believe the NFL record is around 50 or 49 or somewhere in that area. WWE wanted to take the World’s Strongest Man Mark Henry vs Ryback and do the Strongman Competition. We talked about actually using real weights for this. This was huge for me, I would really have had a good run if I had won this match. John Cena used to always b*tch about working with Mark Henry, I feel like he probably had something to do with that, just my opinion, because I used to have to hear him b*tching about working with Mark Henry all the time and I feel like he was saying, well why not have Ryback work with Henry because I was going after John Cena at the time. I’m not hating on John, but that’s the God-honest truth of what I really think of how that all came together. Mark, at one point, was really one of the World’s Strongest Man, and strongest in certain lifts. Obviously wrestling his whole entire career, his joints are beaten up now and is at a different stage in his life now. He’s still really strong, especially if you make him angry. The actual weights were between 135 and 155. They were real weights but they were less than 225. I believe it was between 135 and 155. I’m pretty sure it was 155 that they told us, or in that vicinity. The plates were the 45-pound plates, but they weren’t real plates. They were real metal, you can hear them and they still clanked. I feel like the adrenaline with everyone watching, I believe we could have done the 225 because we knew everyone was watching. I really believe that, but why risk it when you don’t have to in the world of entertainment? I think they put on Wikipedia, they actually have it on there that we legitimately broke the record, and I remember seeing that and saying that they are f**ing stupid. It’s not official, like f**k off. It just goes to show how stupid people are. Like, you wouldn’t think that a fake wrestling show would use fake weights? But no, we’ll put it up as facts online. It was a big deal, it got him a good amount of heat and there was nothing wrong with that segment at all.

Still think she's a spot monkey but that Running Standing Hurricanrana that Naomi hit last night was a thing of beauty
The timing was impeccable

I'm still holding out hope Finn returns the Raw after Mania and challenges Lesnar for the title and beats him clean that night.

they'll just bump guys off the list and replace them
didnt tommy dreamer get replaced minutes before when shaq decided to enter
i think joe interferes in the hhh/seth match
probably hands honner the sledgehamma
Could definitely see Joe helping seth.
The match is just supposed to be a brawl so i dont expect seth to do much.

Not surprising.
He's in a Hulk Hogan position. Been around so long that he's stale but been on top for so long that he's untouchable.

They had plans for him. And then he didn't meet expectations. But his theme song got over.

To add real purpose to the Andre the Giant Battle Royal they should have the winner get a WWE/Universal Title shot at the PPV after Mania.
